The delightful twist in the tale is that tomorrow was payday, and having declared us insolvent, we get nothing. No pay. No notice pay. No holiday pay. Not a penny.This is despite our declarations of wanting to do things right if it came to this. We're having to go the government route, which means people get a pittance of what they're due, and not for ages.

I am off to have a few drinks with our brilliant team, who genuinely didn't deserve this.
